### 📝 What You’ll Need

**For the cookie base:**

* Sugar cookie dough (homemade or store-bought)
* Mini muffin tin (to form cookie cups)

**For the filling:**

* Vanilla pudding or pastry cream
* Optional: whipped cream folded in for a lighter texture

**For the topping:**

* Semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
* Heavy cream (to make a simple ganache)

### đŸ‘©â€đŸł How to Make Them

1. **Bake the cookie cups:**
Press small balls of sugar cookie dough into a greased mini muffin tin. Bake until lightly golden, then use the back of a spoon to gently press a dent in each to hold the filling.

2. **Fill with cream:**
Once cooled, pipe or spoon vanilla pastry cream into each cookie cup.

3. **Top with ganache:**
Heat heavy cream and pour over chocolate to make a silky ganache. Let it cool slightly, then drizzle over the cream-filled cups.

4. **Chill (optional):**
For a firmer set, pop them in the fridge for 15–30 minutes — but they’re also delicious served soft and fresh.

### đŸ« Tips for Success

* **Don’t overbake** the cookies — soft and chewy is the goal!
* Want to skip the homemade filling? Use instant vanilla pudding for a quick fix.
* For a fun twist, add a splash of coffee or rum flavoring to the ganache.
